What is a License Repair?

A repair operation is used to repair a license that does not work for a customer. The meaning of a license repair is different for trusted and certificate licenses:

For a certificate license, a repair is a customer-initiated change to a license to change a license parameter other than a host ID. A repair initiates a license return, then generates a modified license certificate.
For a trusted license, a repair is necessary when a license becomes invalid because the machine hardware configuration has been changed enough that the anchor is broken.

Most trusted repairs are done programmatically, but they can also be done through the FlexNet Operations Producer Portal or the End-User Portal.

The number of allowed license repairs per unit time per entitlement line item can be governed by a policy on the license model or entitlement item.
